Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Darkening of lips is attributable to number of causes like nutrition, sunlight, aging, dryness and use of cosmetics.
I would recommend use multivitamin tablets esp. containing vit B1,B3,B12,C and minerals like copper, zinc etc. Apply good quality lip balm with added sunscreen thrice a day ( Sunkroma lip balm). Avoid smoking and alchohol. Include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet.
Hope this will take care of your issue.
Thank you
